Spoilers Season 3 wild speculation

Just a thought on Lore (or Data-Lore combo) looking "Old": What if the way he had been in storage his exterior "skin" had been exposed to some form of radiation that is causing it to degrade.

This could be a genius plot mechanism so that at the end of Picard, the exo-skin would have to be replaced - Leaving the character open for recasting. *There were similar discussion during the script writing of Nemesis for Data and recasting.
 
New theory: big bad is Robert Smith from the Cure and his disintegration weapon. Giveaway was the episode title "seventeen seconds"

Lost in a nebula, all alone

Seven becomes Captain of the Titan, but Starfleet installs Raffi as XO to keep tabs on her given her bad behavior.

I could see Raffi becoming part of the Titan crew but XO is a big time reach.

I have a feeling when all is said and done Shaw will still be Captain of the Titan with Commander Hansen as his number one. And we’ll actually like Shaw.

maybe Lore has a built in “aging” program like his and Data’s “Mother”.

I don't think so. In Data Lore it was stated that the two were identical except for some programming differences.
 
Kirk was given Enterprise when he was a CADET.

Why make Seven jump through a ton of hoops?
Different universe.

Data can age, it was stated in the episode with his mother that they have the same ability to age. So it's possible Lore has it as well.

You still haven't answered my question.

One is a cinematic movie written by someone who doesn't understand Star Trek or the military.

Kirk in the Prime Timeline didn't go from Cadet to Captain. No one has made an extreme jump like that in Star Trek outside of that movie.

Prime Kirk started as a Lieutenant.

Also Kirk:

While "cunning, courageous and confident", Kirk also has a "tendency to ignore Starfleet regulations when he feels the end justifies the means"; he is "the quintessential officer, a man among men and a hero for the ages"

Seven is being punished for things the franchise celebrates in Kirk.

We don't know that for sure. He could have been an ensign. It just hasn't been said.

Seven has already beat his record anyways from going from civilian to Commander in less than a year. Why does she need another boost? Let her spend a few years as a commander.

Kirk did not have eighteen years of military experience behind him.
 
And Lieutenant Kirk did?
Kirk had been a Starfleet officer for 12 years before becoming Captain of the Enterprise.

Seven has neve been a Starfleet officer before now. Even when working on Voyager she was constantly disobeying orders, talking back, doing things that would get a normal officer reprimanded or even kicked out.

She needs a few more years under her belt before she can be a Captain.
